Real Estate Legal Questions and Answers
Real Estate
Agreement Of Purchase And Sale
Arkansas
Should I use a lawyer in state or out-of-state?
I am selling a piece of land in Jacksonville, AR. I need a lawyer to help me to review the contract for me. Should I use a lawyer in Arkansas or it does not matter if I use a lawyer in another state?
Daniel R.
For Acquisition of land I would recommend local. That is a localized practice area. Something like Delaware Corporate different thing in my opinion.

Purchase and Sale Agreement
Texas
Does Texas have any specific real estate rules?
I am moving from California and wanted to see if there is anything I should know.
George O.
Like any state, Texas does have rules specific to transactions occurring within its state lines. For example, the Texas Property Code governs most real estate matters, along with Landlord/Tenant matters. However realtors and transactions of that nature are governed by the Texas Occupations Code, which seems odd, but that is how it is.

Commercial Building Lease
Tennessee
I have found gas lines in my newly leased restaurant building that never had tge proper permits. The last restaurant owner went into bankruptcy. How could this happen? I am now being told that I have to pay $ 350,000 to make this right before i can open.0
There is also a large pizza oven that the property owner will not remove . Isn't it owned by creditors?
Fema B.
This situation should be reviewed before you agree to pay the $350,000. The first documents I would examine are your commercial lease, any landlord representations regarding code compliance or permitted use of the premises as a restaurant, the certificate of occupancy and permit history, and the notices or reports identifying the gas-line violations. Tennessee currently applies the International Fuel Gas Code to regulated construction, but the governmental authority responsible for permitting and inspection can depend on where the property is located. Whether the cost ultimately falls on you or the property owner will depend heavily on the lease. Commercial leases frequently allocate responsibility for code compliance, repairs, pre-existing conditions, tenant improvements, and governmental requirements differently. If the gas work predated your tenancy and the premises were represented as suitable for restaurant use, there may be substantial issues concerning the landlord's obligations, representations, and potentially your remedies under the lease. I would not assume that simply because the municipality is requiring corrective work before opening, you are contractually responsible for the entire cost. The pizza oven is a separate ownership issue. The fact that the prior restaurant operator filed bankruptcy does not automatically mean the oven belongs to its creditors. You would need to determine whether the oven was owned by the former tenant, leased, subject to a perfected security interest, abandoned or transferred through the bankruptcy, or legally became a fixture of the real property. Tennessee law recognizes separate creditor and priority rules for goods and fixtures, including circumstances in which a secured creditor may have rights to remove fixtures. Before removing, using, or disposing of the oven, I would review the prior tenant's bankruptcy docket and asset schedules, run a UCC lien search, and determine whether the landlord received title to or abandoned-property rights in the equipment. I would also obtain the complete permitting history for the building and have counsel review the lease before accepting responsibility for a remediation bill of this magnitude.

Agreement To Sell Real Estate
Georgia
buying a vacant city lot with a quitclaim deed?
hello, i am looking to purchase a vacant city lot in savannah, georgia. it was taken by the city for taxes in 1968 and sold to the current buyers in 1986. seller will only give a quitclaim deed. once i purchase the lot what is the process and cost to get title insurance? regards paul
Meghan T.
Paul, Please, please, please purchase the title insurance before purchasing the lot (if possible). This will protect you in the event of any title defects. It is normal for the owner of a lot to prefer to transfer the property via quitclaim deed, especially if the property was obtained via a tax sale. However, it may be extremely helpful to determine, in advance, if there are any title defects which need to be addressed. Are you under contract to sell the property? Please reach out to me if you have any questions. Thanks, Meghan K Thomas

Land Lease Agreement
Georgia
Can a landlord terminate a land lease agreement before the agreed-upon term expires?
I recently entered into a land lease agreement to rent a plot of land for my business, with a term of 5 years. However, the landlord has informed me that they want to terminate the lease agreement before the agreed-upon term expires. I am concerned about my rights as a tenant and whether the landlord has the legal authority to terminate the lease prematurely.
Jerome L.
Hi there, Generally, a landlord cannot unilaterally terminate a land lease agreement before the end of the agreed-upon term—especially if the lease is for a fixed period like 5 years—unless the lease specifically allows for early termination or you, as the tenant, have violated the lease terms. Here is what you need to know: Understanding Your Rights as a Tenant: Fixed-Term Leases Are Binding Contracts: A 5-year lease creates a legally enforceable agreement. Unless the lease contains an early termination clause, the landlord is bound to honor the full term. Landlord Cannot Terminate Without Cause: If you are in full compliance—paying rent on time and following the lease terms—the landlord typically has no legal authority to terminate the lease early without breaching the agreement. Review the Lease Terms: Carefully review your lease for: Termination clauses Conditions for default or breach Notice requirements These will determine what rights the landlord may—or may not—have. You May Be Entitled to Remedies: If the landlord attempts to terminate without proper grounds, you may be able to: Enforce the lease and stay on the property Seek damages for any losses you incur due to early termination File a legal action for breach of contract, if necessary Early Termination Negotiations (Optional): In some cases, parties can agree to a mutual termination with compensation, but this is entirely voluntary and should benefit both sides. I recommend consulting a real estate attorney to review your lease and protect your rights. If you are operating a business on the property, there could be additional legal protections available to you depending on the nature of the lease and local laws. Feel free to reach out if you would like help reviewing your lease or exploring your options. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Real Estate & Business Law Attorney
